Gu Ye

Fang Yuan asks how often the extortion happens, and Gu Ye explains that Qin Bai Sheng’s coming auction has scavengers grabbing at anything to fund their attendance, and that he holds no grudge against Fang Yuan for not helping since he expected nothing. With the alliance’s leader away in Eastern Sea and no one to enforce order, Gu Ye tells Fang Yuan that the Zombie Alliance itself cannot afford to protect its own members from this kind of shakedown, then leads him from Old Earth City toward Zombie Alliance’s headquarters. ^{ch. 739}

At Dark Flow Giant City’s discussion hall, Gu Ye vouches for Fang Yuan as a fellow newcomer to Yin Liu Gong, Dragon Commander Ye Cha, and Huang Quan Weng, and Yin Liu Gong grants him three hundred contribution points for the recommendation. Gu Ye pulls Fang Yuan to sit beside him at his own seat, which normally holds a will resembling him rather than his main body, and offers to lend Fang Yuan a wisdom path Gu worm if he lacks one. ^{ch. 740}

Through the meeting, Gu Ye explains the posted missions to Fang Yuan: the erupting flame furnace needs a fire and refinement path immortal zombie to suppress it, and an ancient desolate beast yaksha octopus is disrupting the black oil extraction that Dark Flow Giant City depends on. He also fills Fang Yuan in on the Zombie Alliance’s failed attempt to buy the complete Red Fiend Divine Boat recipe, noting the alliance’s ambition to elevate its Northern Plains branch to a super force in its own right. ^{ch. 741}

Gu Ye still has an unfinished mission guarding old earth wood and warns Fang Yuan against ever taking it, calling his time there a painful, barren posting. He walks Fang Yuan through the mission board and the alliance’s system of research findings toward reviving immortal zombies, which members can only ever purchase with contribution points and never resell, and explains the half moon qilin feeding mission and the ruyi fungus dispute with Liu tribe as the meeting continues. ^{ch. 742}

After the meeting ends, Gu Ye brings Fang Yuan to collect his Zombie Alliance token and suggests he explore Dark Flow Giant City now that he can move freely, but Fang Yuan keeps him talking instead, probing him for information. Gu Ye tells him their leader, Blazing Heaven Demoness, is a rank eight immortal zombie of tyrannical, rampant temperament who turned herself into a zombie deliberately, though her lifespan had not yet run out, purely to break through in strength, and that rumor already credits her with a method to revive. Gu Ye then bids Fang Yuan farewell and returns to his post. ^{ch. 743}
